I am a parent of a child at BSA. My child has been with the school since Grade RR. I initially loved the culture and the way my son and other kids were treated at the school. Since last year the transport was the first issue, the “finance minister” was unable to help and subsequently I decided to take my son off transport and rather drop him off myself to eliminate problems.
In 2021, I unfortunately got retrenched. I did communicate this with the school. This was in no way saying I won’t pay. I did make payments even though sometimes speaking to Tebogo or whatever his name is wasnt helpful. Kids with outstanding fees would be taken out of class and would sit outside the whole day. It still is a mystery to me why kids have to be involved in parental and financial matters.
Today I was making an arrangement for payment and was told not to bring the child to school until I have paid. So this means he misses out on school for a couple of days before my payday. My question then is, what is the purpose of the school? On Tuesday the finance minister was rude. This was on a recorded phone call where I told him he has no right of discussing finance matters with a 7 year old.
Like previously mentioned, for 3 full years I had never defaulted with school fees. So yes, now I am sitting with my child looking for a school where his education will be priority and financial matters will be discussed with his parents and not him directly.
Take your child there at your own risk. That school seems to be after money off late or simply hiring pathetic people who do not hold the values of the school high. That yellowbone will run it to the ground if not careful. At the end of the day parents should also be treated with respect. I doubt finance minister knows what that even means.
I have all communication with him to back this up. BSA is becoming a joke!
